Reading Notes W6: Sterling Part B

• This story is another great about the ocean and beach.
• What I'm noticing about this story and a lot of the stories that are in the textbook is that a majority of them are about the ocean.
• Them being about the ocean is what really drags me in.
• "The singing waves of the sea, clean beyond all of clean, Beautiful, swift, alive, undulant, apple-green." (George Sterling, "Beyond the Breakers", 308).
• There is something about stories of the ocean that makes me feel nostalgic.
• The story shows the grace and might of the ocean that captivates most people.
• I really enjoyed the imagery of this story, it showed me images of sets of waves coming in and breaking on the sand and flowing upward towards the base of the feet.
